Haaretz Morphs Stops the Pretence of Being a News Paper

1. The headlines at Haaretz these days strongly remember those at Der Sturmer, except that the "Jews" being demonized are "settlers." Here is a sampling: "ANALYSIS / Laws of the jungle apply in the West Bank

'Security officials vow tougher line against settler violenceTo hear Haaretz tell it, a group of "settler" hooligans in the West Bank went on a rampage in a neighboring Palestinian village, destroying property and even firing guns in the air. For no reason whatsoever, mind you. In another incident a Palestinian "youth" was shot and killed.'

Oh the humanity, groupthinks the Haaretz readership. What ould have gotten into these settler thugs?

Well, that is what anyone will think who does not bother to read the stories.

First, a group of Palestinian villagers infiltrated the Jewish settlement near Yizhar, burned and destroyed property, and while there stabbed a 9 year old Jewish boy who was minding his own business in play. The child was stabbed repeatedly in his back and arm. The Palestinian his house, stabbed the child five times and threw him off a 2-meter (6.5-feet) high balcony. A home of another Jewish family was burned and the terrorists were clearly trying to murder them, but they were away for the Sabbath.

Shortly thereafter a few dozen settlers decided to hold a street theater protest and entered the Palestinian village of the terrorists and demonstrated their presence there, although did not kill or injure anyone. The army confiscated the weapons of the Jews! The Haaretz take on all this is that once again "right-wing settlers" have abused innocent Palestinians. The Jews for a Second Holocaust, led by the Anarchists for more Terrorism, then paid a solidarity visit to the "victims" (i.e., the terrorists): see http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3596197,00.html

In another incident, some Palestinian teenagers were throwing rocks and iron rods at passing vehicles of Jews, and injured some. Jerusalem Post: "The army said that at around noon a group of Palestinians began hurling stones a tourist bus traveling near Tekoa, lightly injuring two women who were evacuated to an Israeli hospital for treatment. " The army fired at them and one was supposedly killed (army still checking if true). No doubt Gideon Levy will devote a full page to bemoaning the suffering of this innocent youth, a victim of Israeli racism and colonialism. (Leftist Yediot Ahronot runs a slightly more balanced story: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3596055,00.html )

2. The view from Pakistan:Why Are Jews So Powerful?

Dr Farrukh Saleem

LONDON DAILY TELEGRAPH

There are only 14 million Jews in the world; seven million in the Americas , five million in Asia, two million in Europe and 100,000 in Africa . For every single Jew in the world there are 100 Muslims. Yet, Jews are more than a hundred times more powerful than all the Muslims put together. Ever wondered why?

Jesus of Nazareth was Jewish. Albert Einstein, the most influential scientist of all time and TIME magazine's 'Person of the Century', was a Jew.Sigmund Freud -- id, ego, superego -- the father of psychoanalysis was a Jew. So were Paul Samuelson and Milton Friedman.

Here are a few other Jews whose intellectual output has enriched the whole humanity: Benjamin Rubin gave humanity the vaccinating needle. Jonas Salk developed the first polio vaccine. Alert Sabin developed the improved live polio vaccine.Gertrude Elion gave us a leukaemia fighting drug. Baruch Blumberg developed the vaccination for Hepatitis B. Paul Ehrlich discovered a treatment for syphilis (a sexually transmitted disease). Elie Metchnikoff won a Nobel Prize in infectious diseases.

Bernard Katz won a Nobel Prize in neuromuscular transmission. Andrew Schally won a Nobel in endocrinology (disorders of the endocrine system; diabetes, hyperthyroidism). Aaron Beck founded Cognitive Therapy (psychotherapy to treat mental disorders, depression and phobias).Gregory Pincus developed the first oral contraceptive pill. George Wald won a Nobel for furthering our understanding of the human eye. Stanley Cohen won a Nobel in embryology (study of embryos and their development). Willem Kolff came up with the kidney dialysis machine.

Over the past 105 years, 14 million Jews have won 15-dozen Nobel Prizes while only three Nobel Prizes have been won by 1.4 billion Muslims (other than Peace Prizes).

To be certain, Washington is the capital that matters and in Washington the lobby that matters is The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC. Washington knows that if PM Ehud Olmert were to discover that the earth is flat, AIPAC will make the 109th Congress pass a resolution congratulating Olmert on his discovery.

William James Sidis, with an IQ of 250-300, is the brightest human who ever existed. Guess what faith did he belong to?

So, why are Jews so powerful?Answer: Education.Dr Farrukh Saleem is an Islamabad-based freelance economist and analyst.================= Truth and denial.Farrukh SaleemWithin a few hours Aqsa was no more. Her life was strangled out of her. Muhammad.s beautiful baby is no more . she died from neck compression. Aqsa is dead; she can wear a scarf no more; can go to the school no more. Aqsa can change into jeans no more; she can breathe no more

Sixteen years ago, God endowed Muhammad Parvez, a cab driver in Canada, with a beautiful baby-girl. Muhammad named her Aqsa Parvez. Eleven years ago, Aqsa started school. For the past few years, Aqsa had been leaving home every morning wearing track pants and a headscarf, headed for Applewood Heights Secondary School. Once inside school premises, Aqsa would routinely remove her scarf and change into jeans.

A year ago, Muhammad took a passenger to Applewood Heights Secondary School. Perchance, he spotted Aqsa without her headscarf. Since that day, a year ago, Aqsa had been showing up at school with bruised arms. At 8 am on December 10, 2007, the police received a telephone call from a man claiming to have killed his daughter. The police rushed Aqsa, suffering from life-threatening neck injuries, to Credit Valley Hospital. Aqsa, in critical condition, had to be transferred to the Hospital for Sick Children and put on life support.

Within a few hours Aqsa was no more. Her life was strangled out of her. Muhammad.s beautiful baby is no more . she died from neck compression. Aqsa is dead; she can wear a scarf no more; can go to the school no more. Aqsa can change into jeans no more; she can breathe no more. Did Muhammad use Aqsa.s scarf to strangle her? Would Muhammad Parvez go to hell or heaven?

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has charged Muhammad with second-degree murder. (In Canada, murder can be first or second degree. First degree murder is .planned and deliberate; murder while hijacking an aircraft, sexual assault, murder during terrorist activity, murder while being associated with a criminal organization or while committing intimidation.. Second-degree murder is .all murder which is not first degree murder..)

Honour killing is our export to Canada. Women who do not wear hijab are not virtuous. Hijab is a Muslim woman.s identity. Hijab is religion. Hijab is the sixth pillar. Hijab symbolises sexual modesty. The West is conspiring to crush Islamic identity. Fact or fiction?

Here.s a fact: Aqsa has been murdered. For us, denial is not an option. According to the United Nations Population Fund more than 5,000 women worldwide fall victim to honour killing. Denial is not an option.

According to the UN.s Special Rapporteur .honour killings had been reported in Egypt, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Pakistan, the Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey and Yemen.. Egypt is 90 percent Muslim, Iran 98 percent, Jordan 92 percent, Lebanon 60 percent, Morocco 99 percent, Pakistan 97 percent, the Syrian Arab Republic 90 percent and Turkey 99 percent. Of the 192 member-states of the United Nations almost all honour killings take place in nine overwhelmingly Muslim countries. Denial is not an option.

More recently, honour killings have taken place in France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada. Intriguingly, all these honour killings have taken place in Muslim communities of France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada. Denial is not an option.

Here.s another fact: Illiteracy and honour killings are correlated. Jacobabad District has a literacy rate of 23 percent, the lowest in Sindh. Jacobabad has the highest rate of crimes of honour; 91 honour killings in 2002. In illiteracy, next to Jacobabad are Ghotki and Larkana. Both Ghotki and Larkana have high rates of crimes of honour: 67 honour killings in Ghotki and 62 in Larkana. Hyderabad, on the other hand, has a literacy rate of 44 percent and there were 5 honour killings in 2002. Denial is not an option.

On March 1, 2005, PMLQ and MMA legislators in our National Assembly joined hands and defeated a bill that was introduced to strengthen the law against honour killings. In November 2006, the Senate passed the bill with PPP and ANP supporting the bill while the PMLN abstained.

Another fact: Around 2.5 percent of humanity lives in Pakistan. But, nearly 30 percent of all honour killings reported from around the world are reported from Pakistan.

Is denial an option? Who will take the honour out of these killings? Who will expose the horror from under the hijab? Who will protect women from the laws of men?

Dr Farrukh Saleem is an Islamabad-based economist and analyst==============ssive Muslima News Pakistan: Farrukh SaleemOn the Condition of Women in Muslim Countries and Other Questions

Dr. Farrukh Saleem, a regular contributor to Pakistan media, keeps asking questions that few people want to answer. The latest question, posed in Women in the Muslim World:Can you think of a Muslim-majority country that has risen to the height of glory [in the past 1000 years]? Could it be because we let half of our accumulated brainpower go to waste?Women in Muslim worldDr Farrukh Saleem (International News)Muslims do not treat women right. According to the Global Gender Gap (GGG) report, the planet.s ten-worst offenders are: Yemen, Chad, Pakistan, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Benin, Morocco, Turkey, Egypt and Oman. Of the ten, nine are Muslim-majority states. At the other end of the spectrum, the planet.s best countries for women to live in are: Sweden, Norway, Finland, Ireland, New Zealand, Philippines, Germany, Denmark, Ireland and Spain. Not even one of the top-ten is a Muslim-majority state... For women, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan comes out as one the worst of countries to live in; there are only two other countries worse off than is Pakistan . Yemen and Chad. Under economic participation, Pakistan is ranked 126 out of 128. Educational attainment, 123 out of 128. Health, 121 out of 128. Political empowerment, 43 out of 128. Surprisingly, Pakistani women are worse off this year than they were last year..Other questions from Dr. Saleem:Knowledge(IRFI.org - Islamic Research Foundation International).Why are we powerless? When was the last time we invented something? When and what was our last contribution to human civilization? Is this also a Jewish conspiracy? Perhaps, an American one? Did the Jews stop us from producing knowledge? Did the Americans stop us from applying knowledge?
